Hi there!

I wrote a node that converts webcam images to ROS messages, I am using opencv but the linker yells:

/opt/ros/fuerte/lib/libopencv_highgui.so: undefined reference to `avformat_new_stream@LIBAVFORMAT_53'
/opt/ros/fuerte/lib/libopencv_highgui.so: undefined reference to `avformat_network_init@LIBAVFORMAT_53'

How do I overcome this problem? Thanks

I fixed the problem by upgrading my stock libavformat to the latest one using Jon's PPA: https://launchpad.net/~jon-severinsson/+archive/ffmpeg

Basically av_new_stream() was renamed to avformat_new_stream(). ffmpeg is quite famous for frequently changing API names..which causes lots of overhead for developers.

Sorry that it's not an answer.

Does anyone know the answer to this? I'm stuck with this exact problem as well. Please??

I basically copy and pasted the example code from: http://www.ros.org/wiki/cv_bridge/Tutorials/UsingCvBridgeToConvertBetweenROSImagesAndOpenCVImages
